Ørestad, Modern city district in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Ørestad spans 3.1 square kilometers on Amager island, featuring contemporary residential buildings, office spaces, and integrated green areas across three developed sectors.

The Danish Parliament enacted legislation for Ørestad's development in 1992, leading to an international architectural competition in 1994 that established the district's master plan.

The DR Concert Hall, designed by Jean Nouvel, stands as a primary venue for musical performances, incorporating advanced acoustic technology within its distinctive structure.

The district connects to Copenhagen's center through the M1 metro line, providing rapid transportation links to both the city and Copenhagen Airport.

The residential complex VM Mountain integrates parking facilities with cascading terraces, creating a diagonal surface that residents use as private gardens.
